People from all over the United States and the World were rushing to California. People caught "Gold Fever" in the hope of striking it rich. Many gold seekers arrived expecting to find rivers overflowing with gold. Unfortunately, most found riverbanks crowded with miners. Most prospectors were previously storekeepers, cooks, carpenters, teachers, farmers or some other trade before heading to California in search of gold. By 1850, the mining country had become quite populated. Many of the immigrants ended up starting businesses, trading posts, importing goods to sell to miners, farming and ranching. They took advantage of the skills they brought with them. In the mid-1850s gold was becoming very difficult to find. More people were making fortunes from selling supplies to miners, than the miners themselves. When silver was discovered in Nevada in 1859, the miners headed for Nevada. This ended the California Gold Rush.

What is Agrarian? It is relating to land, and the division of land. It also pertains to the promotion of agricultural interest, and it is composed of or pertaining to farmers. It can also refer to rural or agricultural. And from fields of gold in the Gold Rush, most people turned to their fields to farm instead when they didnt strike rich. The prospectors and polyglots turned to farming the fields, a skill they already knew how to do to keep their families alive.
